I also don't believe it to be Cramer......we've always seemed to pick someone from the 2nd or 3rd tier because that's just what we do. Other than bringing back Braidic, I can't think of a time where PG has actually went out and grabbed the steer by the horns

Grabbing the steer by the horn, so to speak, is easy in basketball. You only need 2-3 decent players and others who will do what they are told. Football, on the other hand, requires allot more players of varied body type and skill sets. When your school has the second lowest # of boys [vanlue smallest] in the league, then that makes your school a place that many coaches wouldn't even consider as a destination. The staff you will get will be there because they really want to be there. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, adversity can make for a special year. We will see. Or, everyone needs to have more kids! Whatever works.

Well from the looks of it, we're slow learners.......another critical mistake on the part of our administration

Dearest Rocketman,

Life is so short and high school athletics is not very important other than the life lessons learned by the athletes as they go thru the process. It took me many years to figure this out and I am much happier now. The season ahead will go how it is meant to go. The adults need to let the youth determine their own path and results. It will be fun to watch how things go. My only suggestion is that the community [in fact all communities] put sports into perspective as an activity for the youth to enjoy, work hard at, and accept the results good and bad. Parents your role should be to support your child and all the other children also working hard. This is not a stepping stone to the NFL, but an activity to reminisce about at the 30 year reunion.

Well said. However those memories would probably be more satisfying with some like Coach Cramer running the program.

I don't know what will be the end result, but if people allow our youth to believe others are sub-par or not the best option then they have an excuse not to hold themselves to the highest standard possible. End result a self inflicted wound by those who suggest they want the best for the kids, school, and community.

We've had our chances with Coach Cramer but I don't believe he would be interested in tending this dumpster fire any longer. He might be willing to join us down here in Florida where high school football churns out D1 athletes like the Riley turns up smallmouth. The BOE meeting minutes don't show much on how they're addressing the problem.

"As the world turns" is so true for PG when it comes to athletics. I receive the E-edition of the Putnam Sentinel down here and I see where we're now advertising for an AD for the upcoming school year. Which by the way starts in a couple of weeks. Now might be the time for the PG savior to arrive.....

Hershey is a Shawnee grad, was a P-G assistant the past couple of years.

And the AD quit on Monday. Fun times at P-G.

This is been a long time in coming.I've railed against PG's administration since before I started rocketcorner back in 2003. They haven't a clue on how to run an athletic department. I honestly don't know how we get anybody to coach there anymore.

You don't have a "real" Athletic Director position, you have a position for someone to supervise athletic games and lock the door when everyone leaves.
